The aim of this article was to show two cases that used a two-plan loop (T-loop modified) for correcting of dental transposition. The cases showed orthodontic treatments of transposition between lateral incisor and canine treated by two-plan loop. The loop modified showed as a good option to correct transposition with minor possibility of periodontal trauma due the horizontal movement with decreased vertical vectors. Only in second phase vertical movements occurred in order to include the canines in the main arch. The correction was satisfactory and it showed as a viable possibility in the orthodontic clinics offering to the patient a movement more safety and controlled in the vertical dimension.
